     ROBERT F. WENDLING, D. D. S.  No member of the dental profession in 
Portland commands to a greater degree the genuine regard of the people than 
does Dr. Robert F. Wendling, who for over a quarter of a century has practiced 
his profession in this city, during which period he has commanded his full 
share of the public patronage in his profession. Born in Shelbyville, 
Illinois, he is a son of Michael B. and Kate V. (McKibbon) Wendling, who were 
married in Shelbyville in 1877. The Doctor's father, who was a native of Ohio, 
was an abstractor of titles and died many years ago. The widowed mother 
devoted herself to the education and training of her son, assisting him in the 
securing of his professional education, and, with full appreciation of her 
splendid character and her unselfish services in his behalf, the Doctor 
rendered to her during her remaining years all the care and devotion possible. 
She was a woman of strong character and gracious qualities of mind and heart 
and commanded the esteem of all who knew her.

     After completing his public school education, Dr. Wendling entered the 
Philadelphia Dental College, from which he was graduated, with the degree of 
Doctor of Dental Surgery, in 1902. In that year he entered upon the practice 
of his profession in Portland and has been located on the same floor of the 
Oregonian building for twenty-six years. He has an office with modern 
equipment and is numbered among the most skilled and reliable dental surgeons 
of this city.

     Dr. Wendling is a member of Portland Lodge, No. 55, A. F. & A. M.; 
Portland Consistory, A. A. S. R., and the Multnomah Athletic Club. He is a 
great lover of the outdoors and in 1924 had the unusual experience of spending 
a night on the summit of Mt. Hood. Courteous and affable in manner, he has a 
large circle of warm friends throughout Portland and commands the respect of 
all who have come in contact with him.
